Popular sandbox title Core Keeper keeps getting better, and its first major update since the 1.0 launch is nearly upon us!

The update is called Bags & Blasts, and it will arrive on all platforms on March 10. This is a pretty big update for one of my favorite games bringing a bunch of new content and overhauls. These include the new Oasis sub-biome within the massive Desert of Beginnings, a new Explosives skill tree, a bunch of new bomb types, greatly improved inventory management with the addition of pouches, and a gigantic boss fight in the Osasis biome in Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands.

As someone who desperately wanted an overhaul of the inventory system, I love the look of the new pouches, and that Explosives skill tree looks like a lot of fun too.
